Installation
WARNING
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal
injury.
Personal injury or equipment damage caused by sudden release of pressure may result if the valve assembly is installed
where service conditions could exceed the limits given in table 1 or on the appropriate nameplates. To avoid such injury or
damage, provide a relief valve for overpressure protection as required by accepted industry or local, state, and Federal
codes and good engineering practices.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.
CAUTION
This valve is intended for a specific range of pressures, temperatures, and other service conditions (see table 1). Applying
different pressure, temperature, and other conditions to the valve could result in parts damage, malfunction of the valve,
or loss of control of the process. Do not expose this valve to service conditions or variables other than those for which this valve
is intended. If you are not sure what these conditions are, you should contact your Emerson Process Management sales
office for more complete specifications.
1. Before installing the valve, inspect it to be certain that the valve body cavity is free of foreign material. Clean out all
pipelines to remove scale, welding slag, and other foreign materials.
2. The control valve assembly may be installed in any orientation unless limited by seismic criteria.
The standard flow direction is indicated by the arrow on the valve body.
3. Use accepted piping practices when installing the valve in the pipeline.
4. If continuous operation is required during inspection or maintenance, install a three-valve bypass around the
control valve assembly.
Note
The NPS 1 D2 FloPro valve is equipped with ENVIRO-SEALtD2 packing.
The actuator is available from the factory as either air-to-open or air-to-close.
Additionally, the actuator as shipped from the factory, has the FloPro flow adjuster set at a 0.375 inch port flow rate
position. If some other flow rate is desired, see the Setting Valve FloPro Flow Adjuster section in this manual.

1. Remove the six short actuator casing cap screws (key 22) first. Once these have been removed from the actuator
assembly, remove the two long actuator cap screws (key 30) by alternating between them as you loosen them, to
keep the upper casing (key 21) level during this procedure.
Note
Be aware as you loosen and remove the actuator cap screws that the actuator springs are under compression.
2. Remove the upper casing (key 21) and the springs (key 27).
3. Do not turn the valve stem (key 4) while removing the diaphragm hex nut (key 26). Keep the stem from turning by
using an open end wrench on the machined flats located on the valve stem above the flow adjuster for this
procedure. Continue the actuator disassembly by removing the washer (key 24) diaphragm plate (key 25),
diaphragm (key 19), washer (key 36), and O-ring (key 37). Inspect the diaphragm for any wear or damage. Replace
with a new one if necessary.
4. Unscrew the socket head cap screws (key 29), and remove the flow adjuster halves (key 14 and 15). Position the
stem (key 4) to its most upward position.
5. Place 2 of the springs (key 27) from the actuator into the bottom casing (key 20), equally spaced, 180 degrees
apart. Place the washer (key 36) over the valve stem, as shown in view A of figure 7. Then place the O-ring (key 37)
over the valve stem. Next install the diaphragm plate (key 25) and, using the diaphragm plate, correctly position the
actuator springs.
6. Place the diaphragm (key 19) over the stem, along with washer (key 24). Position the diaphragm so the holes in the
diaphragm align with the holes in the bottom casing.
7. Insert a 1/8 inch diameter drift punch, or other suitabledevicethroughthe5/32inchdiameterholeinthevalve
stem located below the bottom of the previously removed flow adjuster. Install hex nut (key 26) and tighten to 10
NSm(90lbfSin). Use the 1/8 inch drift punch or other holding device to turn the stem to align the holes of the
diaphragm (key 19) to the lower casing (key 20).
8. Position the upper casing and install the two long cap screws (key 30) opposite one another. Install the six shorter
cap screws (key 22) and the hex nuts, tightening the actuator casing cap screws evenly using a cross-tightening
procedure. Torque to 10 NSm(8lbfSft).
9. Connect a pressure line to the top actuator pressure connection, and apply pressure to the actuator. Stroke the
actuator until the valve plug is seated on the seat ring. Install the flow adjuster, positioning it to the desired travel.
Tighten the flow adjuster socket head cap screws to 3 NSm(26lbfSin).
10. Release the actuator pressure, and install the vent plug (key 28) into the bottom casing pressure connection.
Maintenance
Valve parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. Inspection and maintenance
frequency depends on the severity of service conditions. This section includes instructions for packing and trim
maintenance, and replacing actuator parts.
All maintenance operations can be performed with the valve in the line.
Note
Whenever a gasket seal or O-ring is disturbed by removing or shifting gasketed parts, a new gasket should be installed upon
reassembly. This is necessary to ensure a good gasket seal, since the used gasket or O-ring will not seal properly.

WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure. Before performing any maintenance operations:
DDo not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
DAlways wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal
injury.
DDisconnect any operating lines providing air pressure or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the actuator cannot
suddenly open or close the valve.
DUse bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
on both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
DUselock-outprocedurestobesurethattheabovemeasures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
DThe valve packing box may contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline. Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings.
DCheck with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
Valve Trim Maintenance
Note
The following maintenance procedures apply to both air-to-open and air-to-close actuator configurations, except for steps 2. and
8. as noted.
Key numbers are referenced in figures 6 and 7.
1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both sides of the valve body, and drain the
process media from both sides of the valve.
2. For air-to-open actuator action only, apply pressure to the actuator to fully stroke it open. This will raise the plug off
its seat so that the valve stem serrations are visible inside the flow adjuster window (see figure 3). Loosen the socket
head screws (key 29) and lower the flow adjuster (key 14 and 15) to its lowest position on the valve stem. Retighten
the socket head screws (key 29) to 3 NSm(26lbfSin). Relieve pressure to the actuator, shut off all pressure lines to
the actuator, and disconnect. Use lockout procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you
work on the equipment.
CAUTION
The preceding step is intended to prevent damage to the valve plug (key 3) and seat ring (key 5) during the removal of the
bonnet and actuator.
3. Unscrew the bonnet from the valve body.

WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure. If the process media starts to escape from the safety vent
(see figure 2) located in the bonnet neck of the valve body,
STOP DISASSEMBLY IMMEDIATELY!
The escape of process media indicates that the valve has NOT been isolated from the process media, or process pressure is
trapped in the valve body.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
4. Once the bonnet has been removed from the valve body, inspect the seat ring (key 5) for wear or damage. If the
seating surface has been damaged, remove it from the valve body. Also remove the seat ring gasket (key 6). Clean
and inspect the valve body gasket surface for damage. Visually inspect the valve body interior below the seat ring
for erosion. Replace the valve body if necessary.
To replace the seat ring, first install a new seat ring gasket. Install the new seat ring and tighten to 230 NSm (170
lbfSft).
Cover the opening in the valve body to prevent foreign material from getting into the valve body cavity.
5. Inspect the valve stem for scratches or wear, and valve plug for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
6. If the valve plug requires replacement, use an open end wrench on the machined flats located on the valve stem
above the flow adjuster and unscrew the valve plug from the valve stem. Replace it with a new valve plug. Screw the
valve plug into the valve stem, being careful not to damage the plug seat or plug contour. Tighten to 18 NSm(13
lbfSft).
WARNING
Upon reassembly, ensure that no foreign material blocks the safety vent hole as shown in figure 2. If the safety vent hole is
blocked or plugged, possible personal injury from the sudden release of process pressure during maintenance disassembly
may occur.
7. Lubricate a new O-ring (key 13) with lithium grease and place it into the valve body as shown in figure 6 or 7. Ensure
that no foreign material blocks the safety vent hole. Screwthebonnetintothevalvebody,andtorquetoarangeof
542 to 678 NSm (400 to 500 lbfSft).
8. For air-to-open actuator action only, attach the pressure line to the actuator, and supply pressure to the actuator.
Loosen the socket head screws (key 29) and remove the flow adjuster (keys 14 and 15). Release the pressure to the
actuator. This allows the plug to find its seated position.
9. Set the flow adjuster to the desired travel position (see figure 2), and tighten the flow adjuster socket head cap
screws to 3 NSm(26lbfSin).

with new bushing (key 8). Replace the valve stem bushing by inserting the bushing, flange end first, into the bore
located at the top of the bonnet flow adjuster window. Insert until the flange snaps into the groove provided for it.
15. Remove the O-ring (key 17) from the upper end of the bonnet. Replace it with a new one, and lubricate it with
lithium grease.
Assembly
1. Use the packing spacer (key 10) and a tube to push the upper anti-extrusion washer (key 12) into place. Using the
packing spacer in this manner will ensure the upper anti-extrusion washer is fully seated and flat when installed in
the packing bore.
2. Remove the packing spacer from the packing bore.
CAUTION
All D2 FloPro packing kits include a single use packet of high performance fluorinated grease. This is the only acceptable D2
packing lubricant.
Note
In the following procedure, carefully install each packing ring individually over the valve stem and push completely into the
packing box with a non-marring tube. A 12-inch length of 1/2 inch PVC pipe works well for this. It is recommended that the
lubricated packing rings be installed individually rather than pushed in as a set.
3. Apply a 3mm (1/8 inch) bead of the supplied high performance fluorinated grease (key 38) around the groove of
the female packing adaptor as shown in figure 5 and install over the valve stem.
4. Apply a 3mm (1/8 inch) bead of the supplied high performance fluorinated grease (key 38) around the groove of
